The inn owner who had previously withheld wages from the construction crew returned to Yunmiao Village. Lacking the funds to complete the project, he asked Xie Zhiyao to help sell the inn to raise money for the unpaid wages. Hu Youyu, upon hearing this, furiously called him unreliable and accused Xie Zhiyao of falling into a trap. But once he learned that the owner’s wife had bone cancer, he fell silent.

Back then, the inn owner and his wife quit their jobs in Shenzhen and moved to Yunmiao to start the business, planning to bring their parents too. But in the second half of the year, his wife was diagnosed with late-stage cancer. With no idea how to handle it, they burned through their savings, and the situation grew desperate. Lately, Damai had shown significant improvement. Though she still occasionally hit creative blocks, she maintained a good mindset.

She had actually noticed that Lin Na and Xu Hongdou had registered multiple accounts to defend her online, often arguing with haters. With their support, she felt more confident and no longer wallowed in self-pity. Now, Xu Hongdou was buying lots of plums from Auntie Feng’s orchard to send to her parents and older sister. Her mother was delighted and handed them out to relatives and friends, while her sister Xu Hongmi asked how she was doing.

After the call, Xu Hongdou continued helping Xiaohulu with homework. However, Xiaohulu struggled with math, and Xu Hongdou promised to help—only to be caught by Xie Xiaochun. Although Xie Zhiyao was willing to help raise the wages, it was hard to sell an unfinished inn, making the situation difficult. When Champion saw Xie Zhiyao drowning his sorrows in alcohol, he didn’t know how to comfort him.

Just then, he received an order from Xu Hongdou, and Xie Zhiyao eagerly offered to deliver it himself. Seeing how drunk he was, Xu Hongdou personally warmed up some milk for him, not wanting Xie Anai to worry. Xie Zhiyao felt heartbroken over the inn owner’s misfortune—he had met the wife before and remembered her as a kind and filial person. It was tragic that good people didn’t live long.

He suddenly became afraid of death, worried that if something happened to him, he’d leave a mess that would burden his family. Xu Hongdou comforted him, saying her mother often told her: “There are no young or old on the road to the afterlife,” because you never know when or how someone might leave this world.

That’s why she took Xie Zhiyao to her room to show him the photo wall she had carefully made and told him stories of herself and her best friend. She deeply understood the fear and confusion surrounding death. When loved ones suffer great misfortunes, their hearts tremble along with them, and they’re haunted by longing during quiet moments alone. Seeing Xu Hongdou cry, Xie Zhiyao wanted to comfort her with a pat on the shoulder, but his hand hovered awkwardly.

That night, he received a thank-you message from her but was frustrated with himself for failing to act when it mattered most. Lin Na created a new dish and asked Xie Xiaoxia to taste it. He gave his feedback, which Lin Na carefully recorded. She asked him to come again the next day to try more. Xie Zhiyao played the promotional video made by Sunzi for everyone.

When they saw Xu Hongdou and Xie Zhiyao holding hands while walking on the beach, the peaceful scene made everyone start teasing them to get married immediately. Xie Zhiyao planned another group activity—this time not picking plums, but a real camping trip. He invited Xie Xiaoxia, Hu Youyu, Huang Xinxin, and Xu Hongdou, among others. Watching Xu Hongdou and Xie Zhiyao gather firewood together, Hu Youyu thought they looked more and more like a couple in love.

Everyone gathered around the bonfire, enjoying barbecue and talking about their plans. Damai was about to return home, and Xu Hongdou and Lin Na were inevitably a bit sad. To lift the mood, everyone suggested Hu Youyu sing. He sang a new song he had written, harmonizing with the creek and starry sky—a heartwarming, beautiful moment.
